I very rarely came across rude or disrespectful people. I don't know how I slipped by all of them, but I honestly can't think of one experience off the top of my head that was like that. I'm sure they're there, but I'd have to think really hard to recall them.
There was no difference between my characters and the life my readers were going to have to face.
So DeCSS didn't introduce anything new for pirating and had already been available.
